I need highway passing power! - Page 2

Malicious Logic · September 21st, 2012, 06:29 AM

Just to reply to the OP, I've never really had any trouble passing people. Also, not sure how long you've been riding, but the getting blown around on the highway thing gets better with experience, atleast imo. Here in Oklahoma, I don't get blown around too much unless it's a really windy day but even then, it's easy to counteract.

And we all know that a posted 35 is good for at least 60, or 50 if you want to stay out of trouble, right?

Felt like I was never going to get here.

THIS. I HATE when grid roads only have a speed limit of 35 mph...THEY'RE GRID ROADS! MAKE THEM AT LEAST 45 MPH SO I DON'T FEEL AS BAD WHEN I'M DOING AT LEAST 60 MPH ON THEM!

There is this 35 mph road near my house which goes through one of those protected environment parks. As soon as i reach that road...instantly floor it to at least 80 mph. If anyone on that road is going under 40 mph...i want to punch them in the face.

Oh man the nice 35 mph roads kill me! My ride to school every morning has an 11 mile stretch of road that is basically a tunnel of trees going through a park. Its beautiful, not very technical but still enjoyable. the whoel road is 35mph. got busted doing 47 by a motorcycle cop on it the other day. road is now ruined for me and I now hate going to school haha

I have no problem with passing power. I was getting off of one interstate, onto another...270 degree turn. There was a semi-truck in the lane I had to merge into, so he was right next to me. I had no problem getting up to speed (from ~20-25mph off of the turn) and flying past him to merge.
